The Devil's Tramping Ground

Oct 25, 2024

Hello! It’s almost Halloween, my favorite time of year, which means I have crawled out of my cave with an offering of a spooky short story. THE DEVIL’S TRAMPING GROUND was originally penned for a folkloric horror anthology that was unfortunately cancelled so I decided why not have a free short story for Halloween instead! THE DEVIL’S TRAMPING GROUND is available for free on Itch!

What else am I working on?

I am finally back to working on UNTETHERED. If we’re being honest, this year has more than kind of sucked for me in my personal life and I’ve just been trying to hold it together some days. Last month I lost one of my senior cats that I’ve had since he was a baby and I just dropped everything to just grieve instead of trying to continue on. That helped me a lot honestly. Now, I’m finally able to look at some of my projects and right now I’m looking at UNTETHERED. The first section has been outlined and I decided what I’m keeping of the draft I had started last year. I am now working on the second section. I wish I could say that I know when it’s going to be ready but I don’t. For those who have been waiting, I appreciate your patience and hope you think it’s well worth the wait. Here’s a sneak peek of the sections:

Act 1: Waking Death Act 2: Dirthhallow Act 3: Seers of Vanaheimr Act 4: Reluvthel

Indie Release Spotlight

I would not be where I am without the support of my fellow indie authors. Here are some new releases from fellow authors that might interest you:

The Cradle of Eternal Night by Ladz In a land lit only by the counterfeit warmth of magical technology, the Kler prays for the return of the sun, the moons, and the stars. Ceaseless night and the beasts lurking in the darkness keep the congregation within the Kolebka Wiecznej Nocy trapped in mirthless vigil. Their towns remain quiet as graveyards as they wait for day to come again. What no one knows about this ceaseless night is that the Kler themselves can end it. But they haven't, and they won't.

The Call of Chaos by C.M. Aragon Rue Umberwick is a curious woman with a seemingly insatiable thirst for knowledge. When she lands her dream job as a personal librarian for the handsome yet aloof Duke of Penrith, she doesn’t think her life can get much better. But the Duke's private library and gallery are more than she expected. A collector of mostly ill gotten and supposedly cursed objects, the Duke has entrusted Rue to keep his secrets. There is said to be a book containing incantations and rituals to bring upon the cataclysm that could destroy the world hidden among his collection.
